It's Johny Storm. He dies for a while in canon marvel in the galactus event.
There's no need to guess.

Well, there is definitely a case for Noa. If a person actually dies, is buried and everything, and comes back to life thanks to Marvel Shenanigans, how exactly is his estate handled? Does he still have access to ahis pension/Social Security/Netflix account?

Also, what happens if someone inherits money from him, spends it, and then he comes back to life? What happens to taxes taken from the inheritance?

What happens to custody? If I die, and my kid goes off into foster care, can I get them back if I come back to life?
If I was part of, say, the Baxter Foundation, an organization dedicated to using super science to benefit people and funding super heroics, and I die and come back, am I owed back pay and royalties?
If people made merchandise based on my death, do I get money for that when I come back? Can I get sued for coming back to life and ruining people's income streams over it?

Wouldn't it make more sense to sue whoever was responsible for bringing them back to life instead?

I suppose it's possible someone else will die too.
Anyway, if I'm remembering correctly Johny Storm dies to Galactus, he gets eaten, but later Galactus eventually regurgitates him and makes him the new herald to replace the silver surfer.

The answer to that last one should be 'No', since you are clearly time traveling and a company that doesn't exist, yet, shouldn't be obligated to provide you with an account they haven't been paid for, yet.

I don't know, swap it out for Blockbuster membership or whatever you old people did back in the dark times. Does Noa get to keep her Rock-Banging Club membership?

theres ANOTHER case- will johnny be held liable for actions taken as the faceman for an omnicide
or maybe securing silver surfer's residency somehow
(aside: whats doom up to at this point? is he still ruler of a Ruritania somewhere?

as for possible casualties, Noa's secretary is on the older side; Galactus' visit may have triggered a heart attack or something, and people are more vulnerable to injuries at that age as well (falls, collisions, etc) which may have been caused by stunned/shocked/distracted people.

I'm going to guess Law and Order
Speaking of which, Noa reminds me of Danielle Melnick in that series: Highly skilled, small, Jewish defense lawyer who can run rings around an unprepared prosecutor.

Already confirmed as DS9.
Law and Order... I suspect more than a few courtroom television tropes that bother October/Noa find their roots there.

I thought those tropes are older, though? Dating back to Perry Mason or Matlock, for example. The only new tropes I can think of L&O introducing are the half-hour-splits between police procedural and courtroom procedural and the "ripped from the headlines" thing.

Law & Order didn't so much pioneer the tropes as it did refine them. Trust me, there's too many to list, but the tropes existed before the police investigated the crimes, the district attorneys prosecuted them, and then told their stories.
For those interested in how the Ultimate raid progression is going…
The first two phases?Oh god it's all true random. There are no patterns other than the fact that there is no pattern.
Phase three? Hello, World. We've already figured this one out, mostly, but there seems to be a puzzle involved that we haven't pieced together yet. There's the defect, the glitch, the overflow, the underflow, each gives a debugger, but you can't get all four debuggers unless you do some janky stuff. But you might need all four debuggers to get past Blue Screen…

I'm probably wrong, but just from this and pulling from my own experience herding my own bunch of raiding cats, what I'm getting is the fights are succeeding at traumatizing ya'all.

But I'm doing a bit of traumatizing too.
Take a peek, though most won't have a CLUE what's going on.
Last Week Tonight actually did an episode on Law & Order and some of the problematics elements of that show:

I actually think that the characterization of JJJ in this fic is the only one that makes sense really. Like, if he was an Alex Jones type, nobody would take him seriously. It only works if he's a genuinely good editor who has one major blindspot.

Wasn't Bill O'reilly taken seriously, while he was still around?

Only by his political friends. The difference really was that in the 1990s the right had vastly more popularity in the USA than they enjoy now. It was always crazy and stupid, but you were forced to take it seriously because there was a much larger population that did.
That works I think less well for JJJ though because he's not some commentary flak, he's a newspaper guy. Also you don't want him to be so evil that you can't justify Peter Parker working for him.

Hot damn you aren't joking, seeing one of my healers do something like THAT at the 20% mark would have given me a heart attack back then. I hope your friends reacted with a laugh because I take pity on whoever passes as your raid leader. :_D

the primary innovation was telling a lot of Americans what, especially in 1990 they wanted to hear, which was the system was basically good, the cops were basically good, and defense lawyers were basically scum.

To be fair, most things that have a legal bit but aren't entirely focused on legal proceedings portray the prosecutors negatively and the defense positively, so I think it mostly balances out.
Now, if only there was something that actually portrayed something interesting, like a civil case that wasn't a divorce or custody dispute. Give me the story of someone who had to physically announce that an estate was being auctioned off in front of a courthouse at a certain time due to archaic laws... except that was in Portland Oregon when several blocks were locked down by police due to the Covid riot thingy, including the courthouse. Or give me the case where for his first case a lawyer wound up getting involved with taking down a Mexican drug lord masquerading as a general because he uncovered evidence of his Christmas tree based money laundering scheme.
Yes, these both happened to someone I know.
